The Decay of the Angel is the last novel in the tetralogy 'The Sea of Fertility' by Japanese author Yukio Mishima. Published in 1974, this posthumous work, completed on the same day as the author's suicide, tells a story of illusion and disillusionment set in the 1970s, with old age, suicide, and the decline of the modern world as central themes. Shigekuni Honda, witness and protagonist, structures the series, which also includes 'Spring Snow', 'Runaway Horses' and 'The Temple of Dawn'.
Kimitake Hiraoka, known by his pen name Yukio Mishima, was a Japanese novelist, playwright, short story writer, actor, martial artist, model, and the leader of an attempted coup d'état that culminated in his seppuku. He is considered one of the most important postwar stylists of the Japanese language.
